razorbck64 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Quick question. When o/c should I disable C1E and EIST. If so why or why not. Your input would be appreciated. Thanks. :withstupid: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comp Dude2 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Apparently you should but i rekon you could do the overclocking with them off, then once you have found a stable clock, then turn them back on and see if it affects the system at all.

kitfit1 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I have yet to find any reason to turn EIST or C1E off as yet. Having had 3 different cpu's in the rig in my sig, all of them have been run with EIST and C1E enabled. It has made no difference whatsoever to the maximum clock the rig has got to with any cpu.

hardnrg Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 EIST = Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology C1E = ? I can't remember which one does what but basically one changes your multiplier (lower) and the other drops the voltage... or something... when idle... Basically they are a form of UNDERclocking/volting when idle... I've found in some situations, the switch to/from low-power/speed states has a slight delay which annoys me... If you want to save some power then you could enable it... you'd really have to enable all the power savings features (hard drives etc.) to get significant power savings IMO... I don't enable any form of power saving apart from the monitor, so I don't have to wait for harddrives to spin up etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomOWL Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 C1E = Enhanced Halt State, this is the feature that lowers ur multiplier when idle. EIST lowers ur VCore & CPU frequency as a form of power saving, also when idle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
